This was just so f*cking wholesome! I loved the characters so much, the romance was beautiful, and the third act conflict wasn't over-the-top drama!
I mean it was kind of miscommunication, but really more of a miseducation for one of the characters who panics for good reason.


This has a lot of good information about asexuality and some parts did feel a little info-dumpy, but it wasn't a big enough deal to take away from my enjoyment. I loved the two main characters sooo much and I loved the side characters as well.
I'm not sure how I felt about Angus and his throuple relationship. Not because it was poly, but because it turned out to be Hennessey's friends. I kind of wish it wasn't that small of a world. I did like the inclusion of a poly relationship though. Also sweet and wholesome.


Since this is an asexual romance there is no smut obviously, so if you're looking for that this isn't it. If you're looking for a sweet romance though... ugh I don't know that it could get sweeter than this. It wasn't even cringy or too syrupy, which can sometimes be a problem for me in romances. Loved it!
